Hi everyone, im a noob but perhaps i could make some clarification here, i started my collection with the YAMATO 1/48 scale, after collecting 6 of them, I then realized that there not too many more 1/48 models that i could collect, i felt disappointed that YAMATO produced only 1/60 scale of the new series, however I was curios why was the 1/60 new models were selling at a very high price, even pricier than the 1/48, that was when I was enlightened by Sam of XL-Shop in Berjaya Time Square that the new 1/60 models are actually larger than the old 1/48 thus it is more expensive. I've since purchased two SV-51r of 1/60 scale and true enough these planes are big and with big it means that details are even better than the 1/48 scale.

Being a noob here means i dont have much avenue to find my toys but so far i've found that the XL-Shop which have an online store and the Time Capsule store both in Berjaya Time Square are good places to look for Macross toys, I've got 6 1/48 scale models, 3 1/60 scale models and 13 1/144 scale models all of which i obtained or are available at these two merchants.

I hope you guys could give pointers and advice on collecting Macross figures, I thank you.

Chanti Sama, try ask XL-Shop BTS, Sam from that store called me the other day saying that they have 1 YF-21.

Here's my collection, its quite small as its only 3 weeks old.

Yup, it dented my pocket, some was sold at jacked up price coz they know i really want it not mentioning i had to travel to Penang and Singapore just to get some of them. BUT it was all worth it.

This is the first time im collecting toys so i really hope you guys could help guide me along.

Future addition: VF-11B (pre-ordered from XL-Shop)

Planned Acquisitions: The Konig Monster and VF-OS (subject to availability) if any of you guys could help me to find where i could purchase them I would really appreciate it.

Haiya i think most other members here have greater collections than mine just dont want to show off only.

Updates: Just moments after posting the above a fellow member contacted me and I'm happy to announce that perhaps in 2 weeks time the VF-OS shall be added to my collection (Thanks Will! )

I also placed several pre-orders for a couple more items details of which I will reveal in good time.

Oh Konig Monster, where art thou?

Chriss cant wait to see your finished work on the VF-25, Cheers Mate!

I get this from everyone, why and how in very short while my collection grew?

To answer the curiosity, here's my story:

Every since I was a student in the Uni, I have always wanted to own a Macross Figurine, but as u guys know Yamato aint cheap and a student aint rich so all i can do was just catch a glimpse of it whenever i drop by a toy shop.

Time passed and then i started workin, it kept me busy and for a couple of years Macross faded away from my wish list. THEN, I fell sick, I was so ill that i was warded, this was somewhere in late February this year, being in a hospital, FINALLY away from work, I got bored and just to cheer me up a friend asked me to list a couple of things that i used to like while we were back in the Uni and that was when I remembered about my MACROSS fantasy.

With a vengeance and money in hand (finally) i bought my first item the VF-1J Stealth from XL-Shop and when I'm alone in my ward I'd turn into a 6 year old kid and played with it (u know pretending that it flew making all sorts of funny noises). That same night I looked up the internet just to see other peoples collection and as we all know the information on the Internet at times can be daunting, that night I realised that people have fantastic collections of MACROSS, its a hobby not just a toy for kicks. Suffice to say that night was a turning point for me.

When I was discharged from the hospital, with an MC till this 18th, I started to expand my collection, now that money aint a big issue and with all the time in the world (thanks to that looong MC) not to mention my lucky stride of being able to obtain some of the items that have now become "susah gila nak cari" thus my collection is what ur lookin at today. Yes, it was quite costly and to talk about determination, each time and item is available even in Penang and Singapore I would drive to wherever it is, buy the the item and be back in KL by evening coz I just cant wait to see it in that showcase of mine. BUT as i have earlier mentioned, it was all well worth it

Kena racun u said? Yup, the poison was in me all along.

Hope this clarifies

I thank all of you guys who have put in generous and kind comments about my collection and special thanks to those who is helping to obtain a couple items to further improve this collection of mine.

Oh Konieg Monster, where art thou!!

Dear all, forgive my absence, was warded again for these past couple of days, just got home

Iman bro, thanks for the well-wish and good job on the VF-25.

Ipaqfreak, no problem if ever u wanna yamcha just pm lah ok bro?

Sjn Hassan, ur just being modest.

Edan, adulthood rocks kan? "Growing old is compulsory, Growing Up is optional" deep inside we're all just a 6 year old (but now with cash to blow)

Chanti-Sama, Im not sure what exactly is a cannon fodder but perhaps u were referring to the super strike parts that you can see on 3 of my VF-1, to answer, the two red and blue coloured jet comes together with the super strike parts, whereas the one that u see on Roy Fokker's VF-1S was a set i purchased separately, they are all in the 1/48 scale. I hope this answers ur question but if anything feel free to ask ya. By the way, there is one YF-21 available in Subang Square, cant remeber the shops name but there are only 2 toyshops in the complex and are located close to each other, and its absurdly cheap too, i think its worth a look.


Anyways, before I returned home today, I went and got these:



The VF-1A Low Viz LM



VF-11B GN-U



And here they are in my showcase

The VF-11B


The VF-1A LM

As per your request,



Oh Konieg Monster where art thou?

Chanti-Sama

So that was what u meant, in that case, yes, the cannon fodder is a 1/48, got that in Penang.

As for the VF-11B I already pre-ordered the same from XL-Shop.

Thanks for kind comments bro

Hi Wolfx,

The Low Viz was obtained for RM1500 from Time Machine in BTS.

Anyways, here are today's haul:

(A) Ostrich VF-1
(B) VF-25 Alto 1/100
© Charaworks 1/144 assorted.




Here they are out of the box:



Due to space constraint in the cabinet, they are displayed on the top tier, here is the pic:




Oh Konieg Monster Where art thou?

Dear WolfX,

Its a tempting offer this but Ive PM'ed u my counter offer, lets hope we could work something out

Ladies and Gents, I'm a happy monkey today..

The haul for today:



It blew a whole in my pocket, made me go through KL's peak hor traffic, got me lost in PJ whilst enduring the horrible jam BUT it also put a silly grin on my face the whole way home.

And yes, as pointed out by another member, I am gonna be needing a new cabinet, here is THE MONSTER on a very limited peace of real estate on the top tier.



Special thanks goes out to Wolfx for making this possible and for your advice on the lights , i'll make sure the new cabinet will be better suited to display and protect my beloved collection.

Still unable to wipe this silly grin of my face.. theheheheh

Iman, as per your request,





Ajis bro, it was a private treaty, Wolfx introduced me to the vendor.

Dear All,

Thank you so much for your kind comments, help and guidance. Im really grateful to all.

Below is a picture of today's purchase:



It is to be attached to the VF-OS that shall hopefully arrive next weekend.

Feelin a bit under the weather today ... Sigh!

Ordered it from Robotica Toys in Subang Square, Vendor's name: William, should u want one too, I got one guy in Penang who can deliver one, he is a trusted source as I have had 3 succesful trades with him. If u want, please revert to me so i could introduce u guys. Cheers Mate!

Yes, I would consider his price to be very good this is based on my previous purchase off him for:

1) Roy Focker VF-1S
2) YF-19 25th Anniv.
3) Super Strike Parts for 1/48 valks.

I'd PM u his number.

As per your request Sergeant,

1) Roy Fokker's VF-1S= RM 580
2) YF-19 25th Anniv. = Cant quite recall this one ( its slightly more expensive than the VF-1S, maybe it was RM 650)
3) Super Strike Parts = RM 250

The VF-0S was RM6xx, I know its 600 plus but couldnt be certain how much exactly.

Those are limited Edition stuff bro, i've been lookin for it too but so far, no luck.

Well, I would say, it depends, like myself, 80% of my collection was bought from Time Machine, some are cheap and some are exorbitantly high, I'm certain Derrick and Cindy of time machine, on seeing my desire to get my hands on all Yamato stuff have at times resulted in them quoting quite a high price for me, although i do resent this BUT I and I think most of us have to agree as what that have been mentioned by Ajis that they have the items we want in ready stock, Im certain that there are certain quarters of us who could pace themselves and wait for a good deal to come by but for another quarter like me for example, who just cant wait another minute to carry the item that we want home, its not that money is not an issue but it is truly satisfying knowing that there is a place u can go where u stand a very good chance of being able to find what u want there, pay the money and carry it home the very same day. Well, that was a long sentence and Yup! Just my 2 cents.
